Powder flowability technical illustration comparing normal hopper discharge with arching and pulsing caused by poor venting and unstable flow.

This square technical illustration supports the article on powder flowability by comparing two hopper discharge states. The left side shows stable powder discharge with proper aeration and venting. The right side shows unstable behavior, including arching, pulsing, and dust release. The image reinforces the article’s core point that powder flowability is not one fixed property and that one test rarely explains all real process failures.
